Disclaimer: No I don't own sky high.
I would have given
you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and
he's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to
love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know
Layla ran as fast as
she could to catch-up with the angry pyro. Her legs hurt, because it
seemed that she had been running for miles. How could she be so
stupid? I mean, Layla was in love with Warren, but it was too soon
after what Will had done to her heart. Layla just had to make Warren
see. Finally catching up with him, she grabbed his arm. It was warm,
but surprisingly it didn't burn her. Turning him around, Layla deep
green eyes, met his fiery red ones.
"Warren, please listen
to me. Its not that I didn't want to kiss you, its just im scared.
Will hurt me so much, and its going to take me some time." Tears
started to spill out of Laylas eyes. Warren's eyes softened as he
pulled her to him. Crying softly into Warren shoulder, Layla felt
that warm feeling inside her stomach. Slowly lifting her head, Layla
looked deep into his eyes. She felt his hand cup her cheek and she
couldn't help but smile.
The first cut is
the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause
when it comes to being lucky he's cursed
when it comes to loving'
me he's worst
but when it comes to being loved he's first
that's
how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The
first cut is the deepest
Weeks turned into months, and Layla and Warren grew closer. Layla didn't know why being around Warren made her happy, but it seemed they kept the same retinue every night. Layla would go to the Paper Lantern, and sit at the same table. There would always be a beautiful flower on the table, and a note. The notes usually said silly stuff, but tonight it was different. When Layla sat at her table and smelled the flower, the note said something different. It was not funny, but it held a certain mystery. The note read the words, "I love you."
I
still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've
cried
cause I'm sure going to give you a try
and if you want,
I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I
know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first
cut is the deepest
For a while Layla
and Warren just sat there, not saying anything. Finally, Warren came
to stand by Layla. Looking up, Warren offered Layla his hand. Taking
it, she found herself being lead into the kitchen. Looking up at
Warren, Layla waited patiently to see what he was going to say.
Slowly, almost like magic Warrens lips softly touched hers. The world
seemed to stop, as they just stood there kissing. Finally, Layla
pulled back.
"Layla Green Leaf, I have never met anyone quit
like you before. When you look at me, my world seems okay. I know
you've been through so much, and the last thing I want to do is hurt
you. The thing is, not being with you kills me inside, and because
the truth is that I love you." Tears slipped down Laylas cheeks
as she stood and kissed Warren once again on his mouth.
'Cause when it comes
to being lucky he's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me he's worst
but when it comes to being loved he's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut
is the deepest
(Seven Years Later)
The candles in the restaurant created an atmosphere that was more romantic then anything Layla had ever seen. Turning back to Warren, she could tell that he was nervous. Catching her eye, Warren stood up quickly and made his way to the other side of the table. Bending down on one knee, Warren pulled a small box out of his coat pocket.
"Layla, ummm...Will you marry me?" Opening the box, Layla gasped at the ring she saw. It was green, with a small red rose sprouting out from the top. Looking back at Warren, Layla found her voice.
"Well, it took you long enough to ask, didn't it?"
Tell me what yall think.
